I feel I need to get an update and a HUGE apology out to you all as I know many are probably wondering if I have just disappeared unannounced.
Last I posted, I had planned a bit of a break for February to catch up on some work and come back ready to tackle all the summer parties!
But unfortunately, life has a pretty crazy way of redirecting our plans even when we think we have it all figured out.
As some of you may know, I became a caregiver for someone who truly needed the love and care while trying to tackle doing what I love on the largest scale I could handle at the same time. For a very long time, I made it happen! Sleep or no sleep. One thing I did not account for is the curve balls life decides to send us at random that would throw everything off track for someone who is already pushing it to the limits!
Already feeling so behind, during my time away, my grandmother (who sparked my love for baking as a young girl) discovered 4 brain aneurysms, and has had 2 operations to keep them controlled. My sweet 79 year old patient, someone I very much consider my family, got very sick on my weekend off and I found her in really rough shape returning to work. I got her to the hospital where she was quickly placed on life support. I spent every day there terrified I may lose her! But her determination and strength was the most unbelievable thing I have ever witnessed! Once she returned home, I have had to work much longer days to provide the care she needs to be able to stay at home and get her health and strength back.
These events have inevitably forced me to take more time off from baking than I had ever originally planned. While I know it is the most important and impactful job and duty I will serve in life, I truly feel disappointed to let you all down, or to seem unreliable when I have fought so hard to hold it all together and continue on this wonderful journey I was so fortunate to be given!
Being vulnerable and sharing your personal life is never easy, but I feel its so important.
Transparency and honesty are huge to me and I want you all to know how much I genuinely appreciate all of you who always understand that life is unpredictable and I am just human trying to navigate it all in the best way I know how!🙏
Right now, I dont have an exact date of when I will be able to fully return to taking as many orders as before and I will have to continue to keep them to a minimum for the time being. BUT I stand on the fact that I am not giving up and the goal stays the same, getting back at it, giving you all the best version of myself, and making AMAZING treats as soon as I possibly can!🫶
